Once again, your blog is showing only one reaction to the debate. Where have you all gone to? Where is the media that we loved back in 50s,60s,70s,80s,90s? If you write this article, then why not add the other side's opinion?

Perhaps you'll want to visit a different blog to find someone expressing the opinion you'd like to hear. As minister of God, I must also remind you that the son of man came into the world not as a warrior, but as a prince of peace. Those who claim to be warriors in God's name are likely serving someone or something else, as we so easily recognize in dealing with Al Qaida and other Islamic fundamentalists, but so often fail to see in ourselves.

Both sides? This is an interview not an editorial piece.

This is an interview with Obama's campaign manager, for his side.

We would interview Rick Davis, if he wasn't hiding because of his Fannie Mae debacle.

P.S. Are you a Sikh?

If not, you are no warrior of god, you are just a confused cracker.

Great ad - and precisely my reaction to the debate - where was the concern on McCain's part for mainstream American - those of us who work every day and struggle to make ends meet?

The disparity between Obama's debate commentary and his actual Senate record was astounding. Had McCain chosen to, he could have spent the entire night exposing Obama's outright distortions. "I support a missile defense system." Obama has vowed to CX the program if elected. "I recognize the need for a strong military in dealing with rogue Nations." Obama has vowed to cut tens-of-billions from the military budget; and, to terminate advanced weapons programs. "I support the gasification of coal." Obama voted against it. "I support nuclear power." Obama has vowed to terminate the production of fissile material. The feedstock for nuclear power plants. I'll give 95% of Americans a tax reduction in their Federal Income Taxes." A real Obama 'hat trick' since more than 40% of Americans don't pay ANY Federal Income Tax. "I agree, we need to control excessive government spending." Obama has proposed hundreds of billions of $s in NEW government spending, even to the point of providing government funded health care for 20million+ illegal aliens. "I warned of the deregulation of the mortgage industry." Obama proposed legislation to prohibit mortgage lenders from tightening standards on low income borrowers. Not to mention the fact that he was a primary beneficiary of industry largess; and, welcomed the likes of Bob Johnson, Franklin Raines and Penny Pritzker into his campaign structure. Etc. Etc. Etc. The only way to express Obamaspeak in a civil dialectic is to note that the man is a congenital liar. God help us if the majority of Americans are beguiled by this novice circus comic. Greg Neubeck

More than his avuncular ramblings about "all I've done, my friends, I know how to do it and I can get the job . . ." yada, yada, McPain looks the part - snide, sneering and steamed, and sad. He is the one man proclaiming constantly "I put my country first" but who is so self-absorbed that he injects a self-serving political gambit into delicate negotiations over the gravest of national concerns.

At debate's end, he is once more compelled to remind us that he was a POW - really? - and he cares about the troops, which of course isn't true, as far as their fates once they return home are concerned, constantly voting against veterans' issues and nearly ignoring VA conditions.

McPain's attitude throughout last night was petulant and perturbed, and he always reminds me of Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" - the immature and cocky fighter-pilot-jock morbidly in love with himself. In some ways, McPain seems still a prisoner - it certainly appears to be the way he's chosen to be defined for 50 years and the remainder of his life.

Excuse us, John, for needing you to come to Miss. and debate, when you'd rather show-off and look unlike what you're usually like; grumpy and disagreeable. And John, your worldview is too martial and Cheney-like. We can no longer fight our way to peace with half the rest of the world, just because you're a warrior and all.

McPain could not even look his upstart, inexperienced opponent in the eye, like an adolescent boy pumped up and ready to go at it who demonstrates his disdain for any adversary by a cheap insult. He's far too small a man to be president.

I liked that McCain called torture what it was and basically admitted that the Bush administration has tortured people. I do wish that Obama, instead of saying "That's not true" so many times, called it for what it was and simply said "John, you’re lying!" All in all I thought it was a tie though. Obama came off as too cool and collected and didn't punch hard enough. McCain came off as a grumpy old man who craves power for its own sake.

I am rather pleasantly surprised that the polls are showing such a strong win for Obama though. One thing I've said since watching Bill Clinton in '92, is that you must speak to the camera. Your audience is not the 300 people in front of you, it's the 100 Million that are in the camera. Obama did this VERY effetely, but McCain did not. It made him look evasive and cagey. While Obama felt like he was in your living room talking directly to you. I'm guessing this helped Obama close the comfort gap he's been suffering from.

Why don't you ask a Republican who won the debate? Or, better yet poll some Republicans instead of always democrats. Biased reportings as usual.

We will see when the curtain closes and the ballot punched how accurate you poll figures are.

Obama wants to sit down with other Countries leaders, talk and gain their respect. That being Russia, China, Iran, Brazil, Cuba, Indonesia, and so on.

Personally I think only one thing gets you respect in thiscaotic world and that's fear.

McCain is for a strong military, and obviously Obama is indifferent about the military. Simple as that.

Let your guard down and you are in trouble, history has proven it a over and over many times, and to think it's any different now is a big mistake.
